Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Future Plans Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Future Plans She hadn’t been home long when she lit the stove and boiled a pot of water, taking out the prepared stew and noodles from the space, just as Lu Yichen and Stone arrived.
They were making tomato sour soup noodles, which was perfect timing for adding the noodles; the sour soup stew and noodles had been prepared in advance. She had shredded some cucumber strips earlier to put in the noodles later.
Lu Yichen casually asked, “Shouldn’t the exam results be coming out these days?”
As Luo Qiao fished out the noodles, she replied, “It should be about time, probably in the next few days.”
Stone took a taste of the noodles and said, “These are really delicious, Sister Luo Qiao’s cooking is always superb.”
Lu Yichen said, “I ordered some meat from someone today. I will bring it back tomorrow, and we can have fried sauce noodles then. That’s even tastier.”
Stone laughed, “I think the food is pretty good as it is now, no need to spend more money on meat.”
Lu Yichen looked at Stone, whose mood had suddenly dropped, “It’s not just for you alone, Sister Luo Qiao and I need to nourish ourselves too.”
Stone looked up at Lu Yichen and said, “The kids in the village say I’ve spent a lot of Brother Lu’s money, that keeping me will use up all the money Brother Lu has saved for getting married, and then it will be even harder for him to find a wife.
Brother Lu, I don’t want you to end up as a bachelor. I’ll be able to earn my own work points when I grow up a little more, and then I won’t drag you down anymore.”
Luo Qiao understood immediately, “Stone, did some kids from the village come to play with you today?”
Stone pouted, “They didn’t come to play with me. They all came to bully me, and they said I was a burden.”
Luo Qiao sighed, “Stone, what did Sister tell you a few days ago? Have you forgotten already? You can’t take it to heart every time someone says something mean.
Most of them are actually just envious of you, but they don’t want to admit it, so they say those words to upset you. If you take it seriously, you’re falling for their trap.”
Stone turned to look at Lu Yichen, seeking confirmation.
Lu Yichen said, “What your Sister Luo Qiao said is right. You shouldn’t let others lead you by the nose. Learn to think for yourself about what they say, why they say it, and what they hope to achieve by doing so.”
After thinking for a while, Stone said, “They’re just upset that I have someone who cares for me. Actually, they are envious because Brother Lu’s house has good food. That’s definitely the reason, even Cousin Shengyuan keeps asking me what we eat every day.”
Lu Yichen used to occasionally bring home some meat, and people in the village were jealous, which made sense.
Luo Qiao hadn’t expected the village kids to be so cunning, “So what did you tell them?”
Stone smiled, “Of course, I couldn’t tell them the truth. I just said rice porridge, vegetable congee, pickled vegetables, and two kinds of mixed-flour steamed buns.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Smart boy.”
While sitting down to eat, Luo Qiao looked at Stone thoughtfully and said, “I may have to go to the city for high school in the second half of the year, and I’ll only be able to come back on weekends. You guys will have to cook for yourselves by then.”
Lu Yichen paused for a moment, not saying much, but in his heart, he had already figured out what to do next.
While eating, Luo Qiao too was pondering. She would need to find time to visit the city in a few days. Now that she had some money, she was considering looking for a suitable house in the city.
She had initially thought about buying this house, but it was only meant to be a stepping stone, just to be able to register her household. Moreover, people here knew too much about the house’s previous owner, which made many things inconvenient.
